Are there restrictions on the uniform security guards can wear?
Yes. To avoid any confusion for the public, uniforms worn by security guards cannot look the same as those worn by police officers. The uniform must clearly identify the individual as a “security guard”. This is done by ensuring the words “security guard” are in clear letters and on the outermost garment worn by the security guard. The Regulation requires that uniforms, badges and insignia worn by security guards should be in a design, colour and pattern that makes them different and clearly distinguishable from the uniforms, badges and insignia of any military or police force.
